The variables above are defined as follows:

• <username> - the user name on the monitoring point.
• <hostname> - the hostname or IP address of the monitoring point.
• <interface_name> - the interface you are interested in.

The response shows the interface configuration including:

• mtu - Maximum Transmission Unit (“null” by default, meaning “1500”).
